quiz 6: cellular respiration quiz
the goal of the electron transport chain is to
○ make water and atp
○ use up carbon dioxide and atp
○ provide the cell with oxygen
○ generate glucose
In cellular respiration, the electron - transport chain uses high - energy electrons from the previous stages (glycolysis, Krebs cycle) to pump protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane, creating a proton gradient. This gradient is used by ATP synthase to produce ATP. Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor, combining with electrons and protons to form water.
